Abstract: A process for manufacturing a gas generating material includes preparing a wet mixture of a metal azide and a metal oxide without prior mixing of the metal azide and metal oxide in dry form. The metal azide content of the gas generating material is controlled and the possibility of forming hazardous hydrazoic acid fumes is minimized by maintaining the temperature of the wet mixture of gas generating material between 20°C and 30°C. The possibility of forming hydrazoic acid fumes is further reduced by maintaining the pH of the wet mixture of gas generating materials at or above 10.5. Excess liquid is removed from the wet mixture of gas generating materials so that the wet mixture has a moisture content of approximately 9%. The excess liquid from the wet mixture is recycled and used the formation of additional gas generating material. The wet mixture of gas generating materials, having a moisture content of approximately 9%, is forced through small openings to form extrudate of gas generating material.

Abstract: Signal attenuation caused by a coating on an optical fibre F is measured by feeding a length of the coated optical fibre into an integrating sphere assembly, forming within that part of the fibre within the sphere 1 a loop L of such a diameter that there is no risk of macrobending of the fibre and feeding the optical fibre out of the sphere to a detector 8. Light from a source 7 is transmitted through the fibre F and the power of the transmitted signal is continuously detected. The diameter of the loop L is gradually decreased to cause macrobending of the fibre F and the strength of the light radiated by the macrobend in the fibre and collected and integrated by the sphere 1 is monitored. The attenuation by the coating of the transmitted signal is determined from the discrepancy between the reduction of power of the transmitted signal and the increase in strength of the light radiated by the macrobend.

Abstract: A method of forming an amino acid thiohydantoin from an N-protected amino acid or the C-terminal amino acid of an N-protected peptide. The amino acid is activated by reaction with a ketenimine, and the activated ester is converted to the thiohydantoin by reaction with silyl or pyridine isothiocyanate. The ketenimine is generated by treating an N-substituted isoxazolium compound, such as Woodwards Reagent K with a base, preferably in the presence of the amino acid. Also disclosed is a solid phase support having a derivatized N-substituted isoxazolium or ketenimine group for use in the method.

Abstract: A method of assaying endotoxin accurately to thereby allow a definite diagnosis of gram negative bacterial sepsis, which has been very difficult heretofore, to be conducted rapidly, by adding an aqueous solution of a mixture of a specified surfactant, a compound containing an imidazolyl or amino group, an alkaline earth metal salt and an alkali metal hydroxide to a specimen and then adding a limulus amoebocyte lysate component thereto. An excellent specimen solution can be prepared because an endotoxin adherent to protein, lipid, platelet, etc., can be liberated efficiently merely by adding the aqueous solution which need not be subjected to various operations including separation. Therefore this method serves to solve the problem of the prior art method of assaying endotoxin by the limulus test using plasma, serum, etc., as a specimen that it necessitates pretreatment such as centrifugal separation of denatured precipitates formed by an acid treatment, so that the operation is complicated.
